Backgammon Plus

The graphics seemed friendly. The gameplay amongst others was rather quick. My rating is due to how ridiculous I found this app to be. I read the reviews and downloaded it just to see. I only needed three rounds to realize before deleting the app. The second round, my connection magically went out right before winning a good game. Literally, my only option was to wait in limbo (longer than I care to admit), or leave the game, which I did. Log back on, and had apparently forfeited that match.

Dice are definitely rigged. I've seen opponents get 5 doubles in a row, or I've gotten impossible dice rolls. Both sides rig. On the other hand, I don't feel like it's as blatant as other apps. I have had a decent number of matches that seem just fine. It's just a match every 3 or so games that is just insanely bizarrely one sided. I've played other apps that if you're ahead you'll lose 10+ matches in a row until you've bottomed out, so this one is a little better for sure. Don't pay not worth.

I've played this game for about a week or two now. It freezes every single time I use it. Most often when I hit "play" and it tells me I dont have enough coins. If I exit out of the pop up the game always freezes. If I hit buy coins it never does. I mostly get doubles when I cant make any moves with them. I've never had such a hard time winning compared to other games I've played in the past. Really dislike this apps version.

Stay away. There are so many things are not like real backgammon. It is easy to pick up all the things manipulated in the software that make the game feel 100% not real BG. Let alone you are playing (so many times) and suddenly in the middle of the game with 100 pips to go and the game ends and is given to the opponent. With plenty of time on the clock and a solid 4g full signal or even connected to comcast wifi.

This game is absolutely terrible! More than half the games half a disproportionate number of high doubles for one side and not the other. I thought it was randomized, but obviously there is something in the system to allow the weaker players to win. Far more than half the game I played, the other player would get something like three double 5's, and a double 6, while I got one double 1, and 1 double 6. You just simply can't possibly win that way!

It would be a better app if the dice threw random numbers. When you can predict the toss more times than not, something is wrong and when the rolls consistently favor the player with less chips, it is unseemly. Perhaps it is just a bad algorithm. Shame, it could be a nice game. There are no dice in the world that roll with this consistency. The number of posts stating this should be eye opening; but you keep with the party-line. To everyone else, the dice are rigged.

Overall is okay although there is no way to submit a complaint other than thru the suggestion tab and even when you do you get no response. Today is the second day in a row when i'm winning a game for a lot of coins that their system disconnects while in the game. Players will let the timer run out so that they don't lose the higher end of the bet. Sometimes you win a game and if you play games back to back and win your winnings don't all show in your coin count. Too many fixes that need to be made. Also when you lose a straight game you lose more coins than the minimum bet you placed.

1) Horrible connection issues. You WILL be disconnected often. 2) Very difficult to play with friends. 3) They are lying about rolls being random. They are not. Opponent rolled 4 doubles in a row (0.07% chance of this happening), then same opponent repeats it next game - likely a bot. In another game I rolled a 6 and 3 opener, made the common running play, and I never got another move until opponent had removed 80% of his pieces. That would be a "first" in the real world. Total games played: 25

some buttons are too close together. I'm frequently trying to press one button and another is triggered. buttons should be better spaced apart. Also everything's in Turkish even though my language preference is set to English. edit i uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the app is in English now. just the ads are Turkish, which doesn't bother me.

Fixed games - after playing for almost a week I've discovered the pattern that everytime I lose which is 75% of the time the last three to four spins for the opponent are doubles. This is extremely evident that it is a fixed game guys! For this reason I will be deleting the app and panning you across the board. Thank you for wasting my time and ruining a fun game for me! Perhaps make it fair by changing your programming something so it's not fixed for the "opponents" that are really just bots.

A lot of bugs with the app, in multiple occasions it ends the match abruptly out of nowhere making you lose, on top of that it moves your pieces disregarding the options you have to do it and that has made me lose some matches and lastly the software that determines the dice throw is to laugh at, my oponent has had in multiple occasions up to 5 straight doubles, im guessing the software is rigged to make you lose so you keep buying coins beware PS: Customer service is the worst they never reply

It's a satisfying application to play backgammon online. However, I have a problem with this app! It sometimes gives an error message 'weak signal' and send me off in the middle of a match, although there's no signal problem. It must be repaired.

I'm finally finished with this app in end of April 2022 looking for something better after 4 yrs and downgrading rating from 3 to 2 stars. Here's what I have found over 4 years- PLAY: Poor player base- expect to play hypocrites that love telling people to move faster when they can't do this themselves. APP: how long has "emoji" button in the corner been "under construction"? 4 years at least. I can't attribute some connection problems to the app. Also on the positive I think the dice are random.

This a rigged app. Algorithm goes nuts as soon as you start winning crazy odds that are mathematically impossible and disconnects you at will. Opponents gets doubles 3 and 4 times in a row most games and always get out even with a five door at the first time. Shameful game despite the good setup

It is more accurate to call it "Fantasy Backgammon." But if you simply adjust your expectations, to see that it's not fully random, you will play it and enjoy it as I have. During certain blocks of time the game seem rigged or maybe it's getting hacked. To avoid losing chips I just leave the game during those "rigged" times (25% I estimate). Played this app for 5 years, kept deleting it when I got angry but keep reinstalling it. Never paid for chips. It has mostly been lots of fun.

Glad to read I am not the only 1 that feels this game is rigged! Thought it may have just been me but seeing others have had the same experience, its safe to say the dice are definitely not random. Very frustrating! Not to mention I keep getting notifications saying I have unlocked an achievement but still don't receive my prize. What's the point?!

After a few years of not playing i decided to try this game again. My opponent got 5 high doubles within first 7 throws. I got one double. However, i managed to block my opponent in then the connectivity issues kicked me out of the game. For true backgammon players this is not a fair game as is biased, generates stupid amounts of doubles for the opponent when the opponent is in trouble. Then connectivity kicks you out if you are winning. Stay clear. I have uninstaled game.

The game is rigged. Now that I have played Zynga's backgammon for a while, I can guarantee the game is not about how well you can play backgammon (which I'm very well versed in with 2 decades of experience), but it's more about ensuring that you don't have holes in your game. Otherwise the die roll turns against those holes immediately but also ensures your opponent roles the exact die to get one over you. The game is not PvP but it's more PvE (i.e. competing with the game algorithm)!

I am going to uninstall this game. I lost 10 games in a row where all my challengers get doubles. I had several games where they got 5 or more doubles and I got absolutely none. This game is fixed somehow and I am tired of losing all my points to where I don't even have enough to play. It is very frustrating and that is not how you should feel when playing.

Graphics and gameplay is good. But the game really feels rigged. It hooks you on as a new player by giving you lots of wins, and then it goes against you, making you lose so many games in a row until you have lost all your coins, so you would buy their coins. No thanks!

There seems to be constant connection errors that prevent me from even getting into a match. I also agree that there is something wrong with the outcome of dice roll, seems biased for any opponent. I would suggest you look elsewhere for a backgammon app!

I have been playing backgammon for decades. This game is fun however, the CU relies on doubles mainly to win. The amount of doubles is way out from the norm. Games with 10, 11 doubles! Even 6-8 is too many. Also, when the CU doubles you it gets a double roll 98% of the time. After being hit the amount of rolls to get back on board is too many for the player, not the CU. If the game was played normally, I would win.

I have installed others. This one is the best. I don't like the green CONTINUE button. When you are about to press it, it is converted into a red LEAVE button. Besides, a player should not lose so fast if there is a connection issue.

Although this game is very good, the probability of some of the dice rolls are ridiculous... I have seen doubles being rolled 3 times in a row on many games that I have played. This has never happened when I've played the game using real dice. I believe there is a problem with the random-number-generator-dice-program that this game uses.

Pretty clearly rigged. It's very easy to guess what the next role for you or your opponent will be. Also, if the dice are truly random, why is that either me or my opponent will get 4-5 doubles in a row when it's race to the finish? This happens far too frequently for it to be a coincidence.
